Lasting Impressions: Successful Brands Can’t Afford to Have Bad Days
Your brand is the sum of your actions, your words, how others experience you, and how they perceive you. This holds true whether you’re an individual (personal brand) or you represent an organization (company brand). Your brand is your reputation. It sets...
Cause and Effect
I was in a local big box store over the weekend. There in the seasonal aisle section what did I see? There were Halloween decorations, costumes, and candy by the bagful . . . and amazingly there were also lots and lots of Christmas decorations, ranging from lighted...
Meetings that Deliver

Look Before You Leap (otherwise, how do you know you’re solving the right problem?)
Do you LEAP before you LOOK? Chance are you don’t . . . and chances are you wouldn't buy a new car or home or invest money without first doing your homework. Why then do many agencies start with “how” a thing is going to be done before first fully understanding what...
